Welcome to watch Mojo and today we'll be counting down our picks for the top 10 greatest underwater discoveries ever.

The last time someone ate off those plates, it was a sailor likely in 1845, Over time decay will be inevitable.

Then, remarkably, researchers noticed tiny gear wheels in the machine for this list.

We're looking at some of the most amazing and important underwater discoveries ranging from marine biology archaeology.

Let us know in the comments which one you think is the most significant number 10 H.

Terror and Erebus in the 18 forties.

The polar exploration ships, Terror and Erebus had already had successful voyages to the antarctic, but they were doomed when in 18 45 they embarked on an expedition to Canada while trying to chart the northwest passage.

Both ships disappeared.

They had become trapped in ice and the crews all perished in the cold eventually, but the shipwrecks themselves weren't found until the 21st century in 2014 and 2016 respectively.

Erebus and Terror were found After a long and expensive search undertaken by the Canadian authorities, Parks Canada and Inuit are working in partnership to explore the wrecks of HMS.

Erebus and HMS Terror.

Finally, after more than 150 years, we might get answers on why the ships suffered such a tragic fate.

For the most part, nothing's broken their number nine cold case cars in 2013.

2 cars, both dating back to the 19 seventies were found in false lake Oklahoma.

These are very old cars.

They figured both were stolen, but then they found three bodies in the first car.

A few years of investigation showed that both cars belongs to separate missing person cases.

One a 1969 Camaro held the remains of a group of teenagers who went missing in late 1970.

While an older Chevrolet contained three people reported missing in 1969.

The cars have since been brought up from the bottom of the lake in a discovery that finally solved the disappearances of several people.

It's one fluke discovery that might have solved too long forgotten mysteries.

However, cops still don't know how the cars actually got into the lake.

Most believe it was an unfortunate accident due to unsafe roads.

While others still think Foul play was involved, he's hopeful that investigators will find out what happened to his friend and the two other teenagers, # eight Salvo.

Petrie Humans have lived in Greece for thousands of years and one of the oldest sites that proved this is pelvic Petrie.

This 5000 year old township was first excavated in the late 1960s and has since received the title of the oldest submerged city in the world.

In 1967, the submerged remains of a prehistoric town were found by Nick Fleming, then a young oceanographer from the University of Southampton.

It was lying only a few feet below the surface but still managed to go undetected for millennia.

Any evidence of ancient humans is always going to be significant.

It's not a subject anybody can know too much about.

And calvo Petrie is one of the most incredible archaeological finds in history.

It's located actually within the wall of a settlement which was quite common in the Bronze Age.

It survived in spite of the damage passing ships cause though remains at risk of destruction, 80% of them appear to be early Bronze Age, and that actually makes this settlement All the more important.

Number seven, giant tube worms, one of the most inhospitable places on earth are deep sea volcanoes, organisms have to contend not only with the pressure of being so far down, but also the extreme temperatures the volcanoes cause, and the toxic materials they eject.

So in 1977 researchers weren't expecting to discover an entirely new and bizarre creature while investigating hypo thermal vents in the Galapagos islands.

But that's what happened.

Oh, I think the white part is at least two m tall.

Giant tube worms are alien like invertebrates that grow around the vents withstanding immense amounts of sulfur and high temperatures of hundreds of degrees Fahrenheit.

The discovery of the worms gives us hope that there might be life on other planets that mirror the hostile environment of underwater volcanoes.

There we go.

I spoke too loud.

Number six.

The antikythera mechanism.

This unusual object described by many as the world's earliest computer was found in a shipwreck in 1901 having been eroded by thousands of years underwater.

It was built 2000 years ago in ancient Greece for decades.

The mystery of what the antikythera mechanism was and whether it even originated on earth at all has confounded scientists, but today we think we have the answer.

Most likely it's a cosmological device for charting the stars and had been used to predict eclipses and other astronomical events accurately.

And then suddenly you look and you look and you see that the tiny greek characters engraved into into the actual metal itself.

That doesn't make it any less interesting.

However, since it would take humans centuries to develop technology as advanced as this mechanism again when the knowledge was lost.

Much later, the antikythera mechanism, to the amazement of scientists would be revealed as the world's first computer Number five.

Lost.

Maha bali poor um pagodas.

The seven pagodas belonged to an old hindu myth about a man who was punished for his lack of faith in Vishnu, one of Hinduism's most important and powerful gods.

The man's son then built the city of Maha bali poor um said to be the site of these pagodas for centuries, it was believed that they belonged firmly in the land of myth, but that changed just a few decades ago in 2000 and four.

During the tragic and devastating indian ocean earthquake and tsunami witnesses on the beach saw the legendary pagodas emerged as the tsunami pulled the water and silt from the shore.

Two submerged temples were investigated after the disaster in a major archaeological discovery.

Number four athlete Yang, just off the coast of Israel is a Neolithic village believed to be one of the oldest in the world, constructed an incredible 9000 years ago.

He's a 9000 year old.

It was abandoned at some point likely due to a tsunami or a similar disaster and wasn't found again until 1984.

Despite it being abandoned, skeletons have been found there as well as studied, but they probably didn't drown since we know they had tuberculosis in the earliest cases of TB yet known today.

Athlete Yom is a hugely important site, even being dubbed Israel's Atlantis, but it's not clear how much longer it can survive underwater.

Now you see, the village is 40,000 m2.

Using formation was gathered after 25 years of exposure.

# three Thomas.

Heraklion lost ancient cities abound in myths and pop culture with Atlantis undoubtedly being the most famous lost city in the entire world.

But while Atlantis almost certainly isn't real Thomas, Heraklion certainly is.

It was first spotted by a pilot flying over Egypt in the 1930s, but it took until 1999 for the ruins.

True location to be ascertained and excavated these fascinating artifacts from lost Egyptian cities were discovered.

What they found was extraordinary.

An ancient city at the mouth of the river Nile that's solved.

Not one but two ancient mysteries since thomas and Heraklion, previously thought to be separate settlements in antiquity, were actually the same place.

The once magnificent Egyptian cities of Tony's, Heraklion and Canopus.

We found statues, temples, currency, and other incredible relics that had all sunk into the sea.

The sea had reclaimed the cities where they laid undiscovered for over 1000 years.

Number two, the Lebron shipwreck.

This Turkish shipwreck is one of the oldest ships ever found and despite it being made of wood, it remarkably survived in the Mediterranean sea for around 1600 years, We know humans were sailing for much longer than this.

But the Oberon shipwrecks age and its condition make it a major archaeological find.

It took 10 years and over 20,000 dives to bring the ship and its contents to the surface.

For further investigation, It contained incredible riches for the time like Ostrich eggs, elephant tusks, and even gold jewelry.

It was truly a relic of the bronze age frozen in time.

Just waiting for someone to find it.

Even if that didn't happen until the 1980s.

Before we unveil our top pick here are a few honorable mentions I 400 Japanese submarine.

These giant subs were captured and sunk by the U.

S.

Remaining lost until the next century.

And the very first thing that came out of the dark was that giant hangar door train graveyard.

It's still not entirely clear how these steam trains found their way to the bottom of the sea.

The Marianas trench, the deepest part of the ocean wasn't fully investigated until the 1950s giant squid.

We didn't photograph this ocean monster alive in the wild until 2000 and four.

We recorded a giant squid which was kind of considered the holy grail of natural history cinematography.

The bismarck.

This Nazi warship was sunk in 1941 and was finally rediscovered in 1989 For the first time since May 1941.

Human eyes directly gaze on Bismarck's decks.

The titanic when the titanic sank in 1912 on its maiden voyage from great Britain to the U.

S.

It was a tragedy of unprecedented proportions.

Over 1500 people lost their lives in the disaster and many of the survivors spent the rest of their lives traumatized.

Of the 2230 lives aboard.

Over 1500 people.

A majority third class passengers and crew perish.

But despite knowing roughly where the titanic sank, it took until 1985 for the actual wreck to be located 12,000 ft down.

And until then we didn't even know that it had actually split completely in 2 73 years after her sinking, The wrecks, stunning discovery confirms the account of some survivors.

It took decades of searching and many advances in deep sea technology to find the wreck, including sonar and underwater photography, all of which remain invaluable in modern ocean exploration, deeply moved by this apocalyptic sight, robert.

Ballard vows to preserve the wreck as a shrine to the lives lost.
